Hieron-Riggs to Air Live on EASports.com

A welterweight bout between Jay Hieron and
Joe
Riggs will air on a live stream at EASports.com in conjunction
with Strikeforce
“Miami” this Saturday at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise,
Fla.

The single bout will broadcast live on EA Sport’s MMA page at 9:05
p.m. EST/6:05 p.m. PST. EA Sports will debut its “EA Sports MMA”
video game later this year, with Strikeforce a featured promotion
in the game.

“It’s definitely one of those fights that deserved to be aired
somewhere, so we’re glad to get the opportunity to do this,”
Strikeforce’s Director of Communications Mike Afromowitz told
Sherdog.com on Monday.

In the night’s main bout, Nick Diaz and
Marius
Zaromskis will vie for the promotion’s first-ever welterweight
championship, while Cris “Cyborg” Santos will defend her women’s
middleweight title against Golden Glory’s Marloes
Coenen.
